Because the roads in the UK are the worst they have been and are deteriorating by the week
This needs serious attention.
We are made to pay road tax and mot to ensure our cars are roadworthy, when the roads aren't worthy for our vehicles
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the standard of roads, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Local authorities have an existing legal duty to maintain the highway under section 41 of the Highways Act 1980. You can report a pothole here: www.gov.uk/report-pothole
You may be able to claim compensation if your vehicle has been damaged by a road. You can find out more about this here: www.gov.uk/claim-for-damage-to-your-vehicle
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to introduce fines for local authorities that fail to meet their obligations to maintain the highways they are responsible for, if that's what you want to happen.
We have also published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Compulsory annual safety inspections on roads throughout England: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/654090
